2019 High Country with adapt clutch/reverse problem

[charlo]

We have a 18 High Country that has had reverse stalling problems since we had to remove team clutch to install a new thermostat. The old team clutch had the bearing in between the sheves go so we bought a new adapt clutch and the same thing is happening..,machine stalls in reverse and we thing the bearing in between the sheves is sticking again after maybe 500 miles of powder riding...my son tells me this is common (his sled). Does anyone here have a fix or can explain the problem? I know Yamaha clutching but don't know a lot about the newer AC clutches...help! lol

Are you able to spin the bearing or rotate the clutch on the machine freely?
Also, was the engine idle speed slowed down?

Clutch rotates freely but bearing seems to stick but I have another bearing on order (clutch only has 125 miles on it) in case it is bearing. Is there anyting else that will cause bearing to bind as we had same problem with the team clutch that we replaced? Only 1200 miles on that one. Never touched idle speed but sled was bought used with very low miles.

Proper torque on bolt seems to be an issue with these. Too tight and bearing has issues. 50 ft/lbs max.
